In addition to the abundant power performance of each supercar, their unique shape is also the most fascinating place. Many years ago, designers were bold and avant-garde enough to design vehicle lines, but due to the level of the automobile industry and manufacturing costs, beautiful and dynamic lines often only appeared in supercar/super luxury models, which is a distinct difference between supercar cars and ordinary models. Today, thanks to the development of China's local manufacturing industry, the dynamic body line is no longer the exclusive of supercars or performance cars.
A few days ago, the world-renowned supercar brand Lotus released a new electric SUV model - Eletre, its appearance design style tends to be Lamborghini Urus, but through the "sharp" LED daily running lights and concave grille design, it was found that its shape is similar to the domestic SUV that has been listed - Fengxing T5 EVO. Therefore, the Dongfeng Fengxing T5 EVO, which was hit in the face by Lotus Eletre, returned to the eyes of young people again, not only equipped with a 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 197 horsepower, but also the starting price of the new car was only 103,900 yuan. So, the popular T5 EVO with the "same look" of supercars is not fragrant?
In terms of appearance, the "hit face" of the popular T5 EVO has a high degree of visual recognition, and the sporty design elements are reflected in every body detail. Looking closely, the new car adopts the mainstream split headlight design, the daily running light line is narrow and sharp, the bottom bracket also integrates some aerodynamic design, through the large size concave grille design, to a certain extent, sharpens the visual impact of the front face.
On the side of the body, the lines are still dynamic, the shape of the waist line is wavy and backwards, and the 19-inch black multi-spoke whirlwind wheel design that is standard throughout the series strengthens the sporty sense of the whole vehicle. At the same time, a black sports kit was added to the bottom of the side skirt, further gazing at the sporty atmosphere of the side.
In the rear part of the car, the most eye-catching is the through-led taillights, supplemented by blackening treatment and bilateral four-out exhaust layout, creating a rich sporty atmosphere, with the U-shaped spoiler design at the top of the rear, which strengthens the recognition of the rear. Overall, the exterior design of the popular T5 EVO is sharp enough and offensive enough to be the biggest highlight of the car.
In terms of interior, the overall layout of the center console is simple and capable, but it loses the freshness brought by the appearance. The addition of the dual 10.25-inch joint screen design adds a bit of technology, with a carbon fiber-like center console decoration and piano paint air conditioning control panel design, supplemented by the steering wheel local metal chrome decoration embellishment, creating a relatively good sense of interior refinement.
In terms of space, as a compact SUV, the space performance of the T5 EVO is in line with expectations, and on the basis of basically meeting the space needs of drivers and passengers, it can also spare a part of the storage space. However, due to the 4565mm body length and space layout, the overall performance of the space is not as good as that of independent competitors such as haval H6 and Changan CS75 PLUS.
In terms of configuration, in addition to the rear parking radar and reversing images, the new car is equipped with a single sunroof, leather steering wheel, double 10.25-inch simulcast screen, 6 speakers, automatic folding of the exterior mirror, rear exhaust air outlet and other practical configurations. In addition, the new car from the medium model Star Shine Edition (guidance price of 125,900 yuan), with 360 ° panoramic image, L2 level driving assistance, mobile phone Bluetooth key, built-in driving recorder, front seat heating / power adjustment, adaptive far and near light, 64 color atmosphere lights, rear privacy glass, automatic air conditioning and other high-end functions, the use experience will be greatly improved.
In terms of power, the Fengxing T5 EVO is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, the maximum power is 197 horsepower, the peak torque is 285 Nm, matching the 7DCT gearbox, which is very eye-catching from the book parameters, and the maximum torque can burst out at 1500rpm/min. But in fact, after testing, it was found that the power performance of the Fengxing T5 EVO did not reach the power level that 197 horsepower should have, and the measured zero hundred acceleration performance was 9.82 seconds, and the engine noise was obvious during the acceleration process, and the gearbox's downshift action response was delayed, and the overall performance was average. In addition, the car's 100-kilometer comprehensive road condition actual fuel consumption is 9.3L, compared with the same level of models, fuel economy performance is average.
epilogue
If you only look at the appearance, Dongfeng Fengxing T5 EVO is undoubtedly the new favorite of young consumer groups, with sharp and dynamic shape, full of sports atmosphere, simple and practical interior design, and certain sincerity in materials. However, compared with the Haval H6, a benchmark model at the same price at the same level, the Fengxing T5 EVO is difficult to pick out other highlights in addition to the shape, and it is in the downwind in terms of power, comfort, space, configuration, etc., and there is a certain room for optimization. In the development process of domestic models generally shifting from "cost-effective" to "quality-price ratio", blindly pursuing "cost-effective" advantages and ignoring product experience may make the popular T5 EVO lag behind in this process.
